Australian Schoolboys & National Championships 2013

[The Rock]

^^^ Good thing HJ didn't sign up for the Sea Eagles as per above "banter".

Someone tell those bloody Welsh to stop breaking our boys. It is a long way home to get a cuddle from Mum to make it all feel better.

Good on Ya Harry ! You should have been One of the Backs in the first place. The Stupid Selectors are getting worried about losing ! Feel sorry for some of the boys who might not get as much time but they did not pick the perfect backline in the first place.

 

[Inside Shoulder]

Green and Gold understands that Harry Jones is flying over tomorrow evening.
.

I can confirm it.

Halfback​

Mitchell Short The Scot's College​

Moses Sorovi St Peter’s Lutheran College (Possible Injury withdrawal)​

Five Eighth​

Mitch Third The Southport School​

James Tuttle St Joseph’s Nudgee College (and halfback)​

Andrew Deegan St Joseph’s College​

​

​

​

Any #9 on standby (for Sorevi injury Post #1000) or will Short and Tuttle share the duties for the remaining games?​

During the match, it was tweeted that Tuttle moved to #9.

 

[blackheart]

Strange that Jones should be called-up and #9 leaves, although Magnay is also gone. Maybe the selectors finally realised that they were a bit light-on for outside backs, the workload may be taking its toll on Kellaway, Todd, Henly & Milne.

Perhaps the selectors got wind of The Rock's Loig mates eyeing up HJ and thought they'd not let him be led into temptation and decided to deliver him from evil

As I have said before Kellaway Fullback and the 2 Wingers should be Jones and his good mate, Taylor ( Australian Schoolboys Rugby League ) NSW 1s, A Super Fast Specialised Winger, who can play either side and anywhere in the backline and weighing at 98 kg a hard man to tackle and stop and a Top Try Scorer. Too late Now but a Dumb Decision to have been Omitted. Selectors have to live with that. Short is my pick for 9, a great player.

As he did in the game against Fiji at Knox where he performed admirably. Not much will be lost performance wise if Sorevi is not replaced.

It is a Centre/Wing that has been confirmed out of the squad - Magnay. He apparently may be staying with the tour, as his family are also in Europe following the tour. Lee Grant posted above that Sorevi had also been injured and that he may be out of the tour, not that he was out of the tour.

Milne seems to be in the squad as a Wing/Centre. With Magnay out, Milne moves to be a Centre/Wing and Jones could slot in to a Wing/#15 role.

I think that Harry is safe for our code for the moment.

He didn't go to schoolies and has been doing some training with the Waratahs Under 20 Academy and the Oz 7s hopefuls; so he was ready when he got the call to fly over to join the Oz Schoolboys tour.

[blackheart]

any team list available yet??

 

[Hugh Jarse]

I'd say that they would be rolling out the Heavy Artillery for the Test against Wales.

The nominated 23 would be probably very close to the squad that took on NZL at Knox, with the only changes due to injuries or illnesses.

With only one game so far on tour, I can't really see that the coaches would have had too much of an opportunity to adjust the #1 team makeup on the basis of poor form.

 

[Daniel Denton]

Here's a clip of the Qantas Wallabies meeting the Australian Schooboys for a jersey presentation. Great to see.

Based on the team from last week, it looks as if it wasn't a full strength team, so I'd have to agree that there'll be a few changes to the side.

 

[Buster]

Team list up

http://austschools.rugbynet.com.au

No kellaway, Milne to fullback, and short off the bench. Very interesting moves, let's hope it adds more fire power then the team had the other day. Wales will be a further step up.

[Hugh Jarse]

Interesting #6 and #8 selections, and #15.

Must be some lads carrying injuries.

They will miss Kellaway's speed and experience, and I would have liked to see Fakaosilia stay at 8 and perhaps Rahboni-Warren at 6. No reall loss with Tuttle at 9. Bench looks good.

 

[Jackass]

I understand Kellaway is injured but no information as to nature or extent of any problem so far

 

[Lee Grant]

He has a groin niggle.

Halfback​

Mitchell Short The Scot's College​

Moses Sorovi St Peter’s Lutheran College (Possible Injury withdrawal)​

Five Eighth​

Mitch Third The Southport School​

Any #9 on standby (for Sorevi injury Post #1000) or will Short and Tuttle share the duties for the remaining games?​

Thought Issak Fines (TSS) should have been there initially. Existing partnership with Third would prove handy.

Great to see that.
Fantastic gesture from the seniors.
Impressive from both Gill & the captain of the Schoolboys.
